No No... as much as I would like to keep it in the Honda family. they just don't make a good enough truck, would like to get a "bigger" truck like an F150, mainly to tow the queen to the track, but its got a heavy price tag. I have also been looking at smaller trucks like the Tacoma mainly b/c of fuel consumption. Tough decision though.. Probably take all the cars off the road for winter soon since I have to have rotator cuff surgery, again.

I like the crz's.. I would never pay that price tag for one, well not this version at least. Its a good start to Honda meeting some of the younger markets needs though, in my opinion. I think a crx and z photo shoot of two similar cars from opposite generations would be bad ***. My local dealer/old employer has a black and a white one.. yet to test drive it though.

Hey guys my name is Omandi and im 25 years old and live here in Seattle.Every now and then i say something but this is my formal introduction along with the two efs ive owned and others.I always get looks driving my cars(always an import)because im black and its not the norm here in Seattle.First off is the crx i bought 3 years ago and sold which was a big mistake .I bought the car from the original owners who kept it garaged its whole life.I purchased it stock and followed with ksport coilovers,rota auto x,brand new oem mudflaps,and brand new oem rear deck lid.Cars interior was extremely clean with soft carpet and no damaged bolsters or tears in seats.This is the car that i should have kept.............













After selling that car i bought a da/eg/and a dc which i loved but it was stolen from me.I bought the dc from a dealer stock for 4500 ehh kinda pricey but it was clean.I bought a set of ground control coilovers,koni yellows,4 gc extended top hats,sirg lip and rpf1s.I miss this car as well







The teg was the first car that was ever stolen from me and i was pissed.I decided to give up and bought a luxury car.I bought a 2004 acura tsx 6spd with aspec lip kit but my heart was still with tinkering around with little cars.I sold the tsx and bought a 1991 civic si with a built z6(vitaras and eagle rods)but headgasket was blown.Since then its gone through many changes and a new manifold/dp turbo setup.I currently makes 360/274 on 20psi and i just installed an mfactory lsd.Engine bay is not the cleanest but it does the job.Sorry for the long post

Have you thought about Tundra > F150? My tundra is rated at 16/19 and a Taco is 19/25. I get a V8, more towing capacity, more payload etc. Then again, my Tundra only gets drive a few times a month so I don't mind the shitty mileage.

Would the Taco be your daily? If you're just towing a CRX, a Taco will tow it just fine with an open trailer. I really, really want an enclosed trailer, but I'd have to trade up to a new, bigger Tundra.

Knock on wood, but my '03 Tundra has been the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. 106,000 on the odo now and I just spent a load doing the t-belt, water pump, etc. Should be good for another 100,000.

My brother has an '04 with 120k or so and he just did his TB as well. He bought all the special tools and did it himself. AFAIK, he has never has an issue with it. Very reliable trucks.

I would kill for a new taco, but they are sooo expensive. Has anyone seen the Top Gear where they drove one to the north pole? They literally parked it on the top of the world. Only people ever to drive to the north pole.

Here it is. the body is pretty straight for the most part, minus fenders and front bumper and few dings here and there, but theres no rust! The interior just needs to be cleaned up and the paint needs a good scrubbing as well. This thing looks like it hasnt been clean in about 2 years. But i popped the hood expecting to find the stock d series and find a dual cam zc. The guy i guess thought it was all stock under the hood. i found receipts in the car dateing back to 2001 when the front strut tower bar was purchased and in 2003 when the ZC was freshened up and installed at a shop here near nashville. the car also came with oem foglights.

I have thought of both toyota options, its just that they are really hard to find at a fair price here in NY. I would travel for the right deal on an older Tundra or Taco though definitely. I really only need it for the winters, I can daily the beater crx when its nice.. I would only use the truck to tow during the summer most likely. Would like to keep it under 10k as well.. I should probably just finish my garage *****!

Hahaa, Yes!They used an older one as well and Im pretty sure they blew up a building with it at the top floor and got it running with less than 5$ of repairs after. Those guys live the dream.

Yeah, you should get on it! My Tundra is in immaculate shape, 106,000 miles, '03 2x4, and it's only worth about $8500-9000. I just put $1700 into it too! So, there are good deals to be found

So.....

I think I'm going to keep the EF...drove it semi-spiritedly this weekend...and I fell back in love.

With that said. I've been lagging on fixing a nagging issue.

My interior hood release doesn't work. When I pull on it there's no resistance, so what do I have to replace/repair? I hate not being able to clean my bay haha
